As the world celebrates daughters’ day today, let us dive deeper into the reason behind celebrating the irrevocable bond between parents and their daughters on the fourth Sunday of September every year.
Why is it celebrated?
Children are godsend and while they should be loved and cherished everyday, it is still nice to take a day out to shower them with a little extra love and blessings. The international daughters’ day is celebrated to honour daughters and make them feel special on a day solely dedicated to their happiness.
History of Daughters’ Day
It is no secret that there is no dearth of unjustly patriarchal societies in this world. These societies still take daughters to be inferior to sons, despite the so-called advancement in the world. In a bid to promote equality and acknowledge how priceless daughters are, some governments recognise September 26 as daughters’ day.
Significance of Daughter’s Day
Now that the world is witnessing people celebrate their daughters, daughters’ day is also being celebrated in families with pomp and fervour. If that isn’t the best example of how times are changing, we don’t know what is.
Celebration of Daughters’ Day
People celebrate daughters’ day in so many ways. While some parents write heartfelt letters and cards to their little girls, some like to take them on a shopping spree. However, the celebration also varies from family to family and depends on the kind of relationship the daughter and parents have. Be it a big family celebration or a warm intimate affair, every gesture conveys just as much love of parents for their daughters. So take your pick.
